The Wright Choice: Kate Wright joins the Hertzog Homestead Team as Event Manager

Hertzog Homestead in Ephrata has enjoyed much success in the past 14 years including the Bicentennial Farm and Home Award and features in local and regional business publications. After renovations were complete in the historic bank barn, circa 1740s, Hertzog Homestead opened its doors as a premiere event venue in Lancaster County.

Kate Wright recently joined the team as Events Manager for Hertzog Homestead Event Venue. Previously, Kate has served in coordination leadership roles such as Event Coordinator for Hertzog Homestead, Co-chair of Hope for Haiti Benefit Auction and Project Coordinator for Haitian Connection Network/Life Connection Mission.

Kate has a BA from Millersville University and is in the process of obtaining her certification as an Event Planner with ICOES. Kate will continue in strategic planning of the events venue and marketing additional opportunities for those looking to host events such as weddings, corporate gatherings, church and nonprofit events and smaller more intimate parties.

“Hertzog Homestead event venue is unique, because it is located only 15-20 minutes from downtown Lancaster, and offers a rustic, country environment with fantastic views and a historical backdrop perfect for large or more intimate events.” Says Wright.
